A review’s findings into the viability of area tax concessions and payments for regional and remote Australians has had its recommendations shut down by the same government who requested the report.
Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(4195) "Michael Sukkar MP has thanked the Productivity Commission for conducting the review, which was requested “as part of the Coalition government’s commitment to regional development”.
The final report made a number of findings and recommendations relating to the abolition and reform of zone tax offset, fringe benefits tax remote area concessions and the remote area allowance.
Mr Sukkar has said that “were they to be implemented, the Productivity Commission’s recommendations would result in significant disruption to existing arrangements”.
The Productivity Commission had reported that “Australia has changed considerably since these concessions were [first] introduced” in its final report.
“Once small and isolated towns, Cairns, Darwin and Townsville have become large connected regional cities, and technology has reduced many of the difficulties of remote living,” it outlined.
It had recommended the abolishment of the zone tax offset and an overhaul of the remote area allowance and fringe benefit tax remote area concessions.
Published findings in the final report were consistent with findings contained in the draft report.
Mr Sukkar acknowledged “the volume of submissions” that were provided to the commission in response to that draft, where an overwhelming majority were not supportive of the proposed changes.
“Given the challenges faced by regional Australia, including as a result of the impacts of the recent drought, bushfires and now coronavirus, the government will not be acting on the Productivity Commission’s recommendations,” he continued.
The Assistant Treasurer said, “The most important thing we can do at this time is continue to provide certainty and confidence to those living in regional areas that the government remains fully committed to supporting the growth of our regions and their continued success into the future.”
The tax offsets and allowances explained:
The zone tax offset (ZTO), an income tax offset available to residents of specified parts of Australia, was initially designed to compensate residents for harsh climatic conditions, isolation and a higher cost of living in the zones.
The report found that “the ZTO no longer serves a purpose in contemporary Australia, and is not needed”.
It argued that “removing what is now a small payment will not have a large or long-term effect on the economies of those areas affected”.
The remote area allowance (RAA) was first introduced as a companion payment to the zone tax offset and is a supplementary payment for income support recipients in eligible areas. Acknowledged as having a “legitimate” role by the Productivity Commission, the RAA is designed “to compensate for some of the higher costs of living and reduced access to services affecting income support recipients in remote area”.
Most recipients of this allowance reside in very remote and remote areas, with a majority in the Northern Territory.
Half are located within areas of the highest socioeconomic disadvantage, while two-thirds of recipients are Indigenous Australians. The Productivity Commission also notes the large majority are in receipt of either the Age Pension, the disability support pension, Newstart allowance or parenting payment.
Acknowledging the benefits of this system, the Productivity Commission did still consider that the RAA “should be better targeted”.
The fringe benefit tax (FBT) remote area concessions. Under Australia’s FBT scheme, employers may claim tax concessions for some goods, services or financial assistance provided to employees working in designated remote areas.
It considered that FBT concessions for remote areas are “overly generous, costly and inequitable and should be tightened” before considering such benefits to “go beyond what is needed to make the tax equitable”.
“As broad-based concessions, they are poorly targeted to regional development and lack transparency,” the report outlined.

Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(2074) "It’s not surprising that the government, through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), strictly enforces tax laws and punishes tax crimes.
According to the ATO, deliberate acts that abuse the tax and super systems are considered as tax crimes – they incur serious consequences since they are punishable under tax and criminal law. These include:
- Failure to lodge a tax return on time
- Making a false or misleading statement (deception)
- Hiding cash wages
- Making fraudulent rebate and offset claims
- Using complex offshore arrangements to hide income
- Failure to meet other tax obligations
- Failure to keep necessary tax records
- Failure to withhold PAYG withholding amount from employees or entities, as required
Tax penalties
Offenders are notified of their tax offence and are given a chance to explain and defend themselves in court. Should the court find the defendant guilty of dishonesty or deception, the offender will be required to pay a tax penalty and may be imprisoned for up to 10 years, depending on the crime.
Penalty relief
The ATO offers penalty relief for eligible entities who may simply have made mistakes in their tax returns but not those who the office deems to have deliberately attempted to commit tax fraud.
Eligibility for penalty relief
Individuals and entities with a turnover less than $10 million may benefit from the penalty relief.
For entities to be eligible for the tax penalty relief, they must be:
- Co-operatives
- Not-for-profit organisations
- Strata title bodies
- Small businesses
- Self-managed super funds
You cannot apply for the penalty relief – the ATO will automatically apply it to eligible entities. However, even such entities may lose their eligibility if they received a penalty relief or had been penalised in the past three years.

Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(1464) "A statement from Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said, “The new laws ensure that every dollar that is paid out to affected individuals, businesses and primary producers goes to supporting them during these difficult times and to rebuilding their livelihoods.”
The exemptions covered by the legislation include for disaster recovery allowance payments for individuals and payments otherwise taxable under disaster recovery funding arrangements, such as grants for small businesses and primary producers.
The support for NSW Rural Fire Service volunteers gives effect to a previous government announcement by the federal government that it would cooperate with the NSW government to provide tax-free financial support to volunteers who are employed by small or medium businesses and had volunteered for an extended period to assist in combating fires.
The new legislation also allows taxpayers to claim income tax deductions for donations to two organisations established in response to the bushfires:
- The Australian Volunteers Trust – which provides support to volunteers and their immediate families where the volunteer has died or become seriously injured during their service in responding to a disaster in Australia.
- The Community Rebuilding Trust – set up to receive, manage and mobilise donations to help rebuild and re-establish communities affected by disasters in Australia.
The Australian government has made disaster relief payments to bushfire-affected individuals and businesses tax-exempt while extending tax-free financial support to NSW Rural Fire Service volunteers.

Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(2853) "What are franking credits?
Franking credits are credits for taxes that a company has already paid on its profits at the 30 per cent corporate tax rate before distributing it as dividend payout.
Companies may then decide whether to use the tax credit or pass it on to shareholders by distributing fully franked or partially franked dividends.
The main difference between fully and partially franked dividends is how much of the company-paid taxes shareholders will benefit from. Fully franked dividends come with credits for the full 30 per cent, while partially franked dividends limit tax offsets for the franked portion of the dividends.
What franking credits can do for you
Franking credits may provide extra income or bring down your tax payable, but you may not feel its effects unless you have a significant investment in dividend-paying shares.
This is because the underlying company gets to decide the amount of dividend per share – some may give a few dollars, while others may give smaller amounts.
In this sense, shareholders who have a large number of dividend-paying shares in their portfolio may enjoy larger dividends compared with fund members.
Your franking tax offset
Dividends also form part of your income and must be included in the tax return in the financial year it was distributed and you may have to pay tax on them. However, the franking credits you receive from franked dividends may lower your tax obligation for the year.
Likewise, you may claim a cash refund if your marginal tax rate falls below 30 per cent.
Do franking credits affect superannuation?
Many super funds include dividend-paying shares in their portfolio, but fund members may not necessarily feel its effects – it all depends on how the fund manager utilises the credits.
Some fund managers and trustees simply pass on franking credits that are proportional to the units its members hold. However, some may use the credits to reduce the total tax that the fund pays then passes the dividends to members – it all depends on what was agreed upon.
Will franking credits be abolished?
The Labor Party’s proposal in the lead-up to the 2019 elections touched on franking credits but focused on abolishing cash refunds and not the imputation system as a whole.
However, the Labor Opposition’s election loss means that the government will continue to hand out cash refunds for taxpayers who claim their excess franking credits.
Despite this, investors may expect that cash refunds and the imputation system may be challenged again in the future, as it had been multiple times since it was passed.

Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(3891) "What information and documents should I provide?
Your accountant would need your personal details and tax file number to prepare your tax forms on your behalf.
Likewise, you need to provide the following:
Most recent tax return
Your most recent tax return may provide your accountant the basic information they need to prepare your new tax return. However, this will only give them an idea of what to look for or ask you with regard to your new return.
For instance, if you claimed tax deductions due to working from home in the previous financial year, they may ask you if your employment situation is still the same.
Likewise, they may identify and address any discrepancy that arises.
Income statements
This includes your super fund statements and payment summaries from the government if you receive allowances.
- Foreign income statements
You need to provide income statements from foreign income, such as pension or investments. - Fund statements
Account statements from your fund managers and trusts should also be prepared.
Include statements that provide information about investment assets that you bought or sold within the effective financial year. - Rental property records
If you rent out a property or sold one, make sure to provide the information to your accountant so they can account for the rental income, capital gain or capital loss. - Bank statements
This should reflect any income you receive from interest within the financial year.
Receipt for tax claimable expense
What receipts should I keep?
If you plan to claim tax deductions on eligible expenses, you will need to keep a record of all receipts that would support the claims.
What can I claim?
Some examples of claimable deductions are:
Work-related expenses
You may claim a deduction on vehicle and travel expenses for work-related duties, laundry and dry cleaning for specialised work-related clothing, overtime meals, tools and equipment for work use.
Likewise, work-related self-education expenses (i.e. seminar fees) that were not reimbursed by your employer may be deducted.
- Donations
Any monetary or property contributions or donations may be deducted as long as it was given to accredited deductible gift recipients and was given completely voluntarily. - Super contributions
Concessional and non-concessional superannuation contributions and spouse contributions are deductible as long as they fall within the contributions cap. - Private health insurance premium
You may claim a tax offset on your premium payments if you took out a private health insurance to avoid Medicare levy. - Depreciating assets
If you run a business, you may claim a tax deduction on depreciating assets over time.
Read “Legal ways to reduce tax payable” for more information on possible tax offsets and deductions.
How do I keep my receipts legible?
One way to keep your receipts readable is to keep a digital copy by scanning them.
You may keep a digital copy in your local drive, mobile device or a mobile application.
Alternatively, you may record photos and scans of documents and receipts in the ATO app’s myDeductions tool.

Write comment (0 Comments) " ["fulltext"]=> string(4607) "What do I need to prepare?
You need to prepare forms, documents and receipts to complete your tax return faster.
Income statements or summaries and invoices
All your income for the financial year should be declared.
This includes salary from full-time employment, freelance and side hustle income, as well as Centrelink and other government payments.
Fund, trust or portfolio statements
Your income or profits from investments may be taxable. Make sure to include information on dividends, distributions and interest income you received.
Buy and sell statements
If you purchased or sold capital assets within the financial year, you need to declare its purchase and selling price in order to compute for capital gains tax or capital loss.
Foreign income
You also need to declare any income you receive from foreign sources, regardless if the sources are investment assets or foreign government pension.
Rental property records
If you own a rental property, you need to prepare all documents that show your income and expenses derived from the property.
Accomplished tax form
Decide how you will lodge your tax return: online, paper or through an agent. Once decided, fill in the necessary information and lodge your tax return through your preferred means.
- Online lodgment
If you choose online lodgment, you need to create a myGov account and link it to the ATO. Then provide the required information and prove your identity by providing your tax file number.
Note that the ATO pre-fills the information on online forms by a certain date, which means all you need to do is review and confirm that the information is correct. Watch out for ATO announcements on when pre-filled forms will be available. - Paper tax return
If you want to lodge manually, you may download a copy of the most recent tax return for individuals form and fill in the required information.
Once you’re sure you’ve accomplished all the necessary forms, you may mail them to ATO and wait for advice on what to do next and whether you have tax payables. - Lodge with a tax agent
Alternatively, you may hire a registered tax agent to prepare and file your taxes on your behalf.
What can I claim?
You may claim offsets and deduction on eligible expenses. Some examples are:
Super contributions
Concessional and non-concessional superannuation contributions and spouse contributions are deductible as long as they fall within the contributions cap.
Work-related expenses
- vehicle and travel expenses for work-related duties
- laundry and dry cleaning expenses for specialised work-related clothing
- overtime meals
- tools and equipment for work use
- work-related self-education expenses (i.e. seminar fees) that were not reimbursed
Donations
Any monetary or property contributions or donations may be deducted as long as it was given to accredited deductible gift recipients and was given completely voluntarily.
For more information on ATO-allowed deductions, see “Legal ways to reduce tax payable”.
What happens if I owe the ATO money?
The ATO will review your tax return and determine if you have any tax payable for the year.
If the ATO determines that you owe them money, they Tax Office will contact you and inform you of the assessment and how much you need to pay.
You will be given enough time to make your payment.
What happens if I don't do a tax return?
Lodging your tax return is mandatory. If you forget or refuse to lodge your tax return for the income year, expect to receive communication from the ATO and a penalty for late lodgment.
If you think you don’t need to lodge a tax return due to low income, you still need to secure a non-lodgment advice form and submit it to the ATO. This form will ensure that the ATO knows you’re not simply evading your tax responsibility.
Explore nestegg for more information about taxes.
When the financial year ends on 30 June of each year, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) expects all Australian residents for tax purposes to lodge their tax returns and pay their taxes.
